Output

Outputs/Sends data (Places bytes into the transmit buffer)

Not available at design time. Write only at runtime.

Syntax object.Output = value         object Name of the communications control.   value A String expression containing the characters/bytes to place into the transmit buffer.         Example.       object.Output = Text1.Text '// Places the contents of a text box '// into the transmit buffer.

Remarks:

Ensure that your transmit buffer is large enough and has enough free space to hold the number of bytes. If you have a lot of data then you might consider splitting the data and repeatedly calling the Output property sending smaller amounts.

Warning - If you attempt to insert too much data into the transmit buffer the data will be truncated. This property does not return an error - but an OnComm comEventTxFull is fired.

Use OutBufferSize - OutBufferCount to calculate the number of free spaces in the output buffer. Although, in most simple applications we would suggest waiting until OutBufferCount is zero before queueing more data.
